What affects the price in George Green
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your wake in George Green, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Build in time for delays
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
For planners, venues and organisers

George Green: your questions answered
Is George Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if the service runs late?
Yes. We start when you are ready.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, that is common.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
- 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
