What happens on the day

There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. December events in Marylebone lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Questions from Marylebone

What about parking in Marylebone?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

Which station is closest to Marylebone?

Marylebone has its own station: Bond Street station.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you bring everything you need?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Can the van park on grass?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

How long does set-up take?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Allergies and dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
  • Agree who removes waste
  • Agree when volunteers will eat
  • Settle the pitch terms early

If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.

A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.

Space, access and the venue

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

  • A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
  • Access that avoids crowds
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways

Marylebone is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What a fish and chip van costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Access and parking
  • Cod, haddock or both

  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
