DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Light matters for evening service: around Turners Hill, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How we price a fish and chip van
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
There’s 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. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
