Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Late September evenings in Steep Marsh lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Put allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space and the way in
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Steep Marsh, and we will check the date and send a price.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
