Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Berwick
How far is Berwick from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. A summer party in Berwick stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
