Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Terriers
How far is Terriers from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Terriers?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree who removes waste
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A clear route onto the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
