Can the van come to our fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
There’s 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. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Agree the terms in writing
- Display allergens for each stall
- Give us an idea of numbers
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
A chip van compared with other options
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. 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.
