It is a real treat for guests, and people talk about it afterwards.

Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re often booked for:

  • Retirement celebrations
  • Children’s parties
  • Garden get-togethers
  • Anniversary celebrations

If the day starts at Church of All Saints, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Allergies and dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Ask guests about allergies when they reply
  • Arrange an alternative if needed
  • Tell the neighbours the van is coming

Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.

Put the menu up by the van.

Working with your venue

Organising a club, school or community event in Denton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

What a fish and chip van costs

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The length of service
  • Whether a minimum applies

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What we need to know

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • The date and time of the event
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.

Denton questions

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

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Is Denton too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

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.

Do you fry it on site?

It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Do you cover Denton?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Denton and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Do you need power or water?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

How fast is service?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

The process

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Autumn and winter parties in Denton get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Preparing for the day

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Name one person we can call on the day
