Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Put bins and napkins by the van
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
