Party fish and chip van in Aston Upthorpe, cooked to order

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
After service, we pack up.
Plan cover in case of showers.
