We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • The minimum booking
  • How many people are eating
  • Your choice of menu
  • The length of service

Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Chilson

Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

How far is Chilson from London?

About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Is there a non-fish option?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

Can the van park on the street?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Where do you take the van?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

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 a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

The process

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. Autumn and winter parties in Chilson get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
