Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check the street’s parking rules
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Harefield questions
How far is Harefield from London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in The Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, usually. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
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.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
