For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- How long we serve
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Late-December sunset in Dulwich Village is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. 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.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No surprises in your quote
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
