Questions from Kearsney
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
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 everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. 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.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A quote that spells everything out
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
