How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. December events in Potter's Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Questions from Potter's Green
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you trade at school fairs around Potter's Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Can the van come to our fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we’re available.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Why Potter's Green hosts choose us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
