FAQs for Coleshill
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
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 usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Keep the queue away from the road.
Finish with the birthday cake.

Food your guests will love

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the van would park
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
