What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van

Why choose a fish and chip van in North Ascot?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
