Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
