Questions from Shenington
Can you come to a school fair in Shenington?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you come out to small places like Shenington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

- Space for a queue away from paths
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- What’s available on the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For an evening event in Shenington, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.

- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
