How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. For an evening event in Loxford, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why Loxford hosts choose us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
