Book the van in Fir Toll
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Late September evenings in Fir Toll lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
