- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- How far we travel
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Where the van can park in Wendlebury
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Information about power and water
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A clear route onto the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
