Book the van in Wootton
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
