How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For an evening event in Wigmore, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Have other stalls for special diets
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

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 solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
