The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. December events in Maids Moreton lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 9:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Perfect for your event in Maids Moreton
We keep cooking in the rain.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name

- Anything awkward about the way in
