How our fish and chip van for events works in South Weston
When there’s hot food, people stay longer. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for crew and volunteer catering and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers.
Rural events near South Weston can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
Larger groups generally 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.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

- Give us an idea of numbers
- Share pitch details
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
Plan where the queue forms.
A few benches near the van help.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Common questions in South Weston
Is South Weston too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you come to South Weston?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including South Weston. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
