Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.
Where the van can park in Albany Park
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Albany Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Albany Park
Could you trade in Waring Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Albany Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Albany Park.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
