Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Information about power and water
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Share pitch details
- Give us an idea of numbers
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For an evening event in Normans' Bay, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you’re 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, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
