- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Terrick
How far is Terrick from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Terrick too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. See all areas.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
