The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. A wake in Berry's Green in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.

Is parking a problem for the van in Berry's Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

What if timings change?
Of course. We serve when people are ready.
