Common questions in Foulford
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Foulford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
