Organising for someone else?

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- A clear quote before booking
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- A van that becomes part of the event
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
