Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Autumn and winter parties in Barford St Michael get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
