What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the parking spot
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For an evening event in Woodrow, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
