How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your party. Sunset in Bedgebury Cross is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning help
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bedgebury Cross?
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A quote that spells everything out
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
