Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Information about power and water
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. December events in Whitegrove lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
