Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
What happens on the day
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A summer party in Bury's Bank stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time

Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
