Planning help
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- A short menu helps everyone
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
