A fish and chip van or other catering?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
The cost per head usually 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.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
The process
There is 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. At midsummer, events in Newtown stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
