What the van needs

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways

The Burroughs is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day

The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, events in The Burroughs stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
We set up before the gates open.
We cook fresh and serve through the day.
At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event

These are the factors that matter most:

The day of the week
How many people are eating
Service time
How easy the site is to reach

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Details that help

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

Where you’d like the van to go
A photo of the parking spot
How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Rough numbers for adults and children

For planners, venues and organisers

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

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.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
