Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Around midsummer it stays light in Broyle Side until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Count children separately
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
How we price a fish and chip van
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
