Questions from Breach
Could you trade in Jumping Downs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Breach from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How we price a fish and chip van
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
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.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
