How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Willington, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
