Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

What affects the price in Upper Froyle
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
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.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer events in Upper Froyle have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
