About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer fêtes in Little London have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Details of any power or water on site
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
