- Cod, haddock or both

Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Cowley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Cowley questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Laurence: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about parking in Cowley?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Cowley?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
