Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Little Ann
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Little Ann?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you cover Little Ann?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Little Ann. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Late September evenings in Little Ann lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

How we price a fish and chip van
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
