How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Lane End drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen needed

Before booking anyone

- How many hours the van serves
- Any minimum charge
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
