Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ensure the van can park legally
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
