DIY versus a fish and chip van

Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Check the hall has an urn
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Allow for the service running over
We arrive in good time and park discreetly.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer evenings in West Molesey stay light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
