A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. 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.

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Little Conghurst: your questions answered
Can the van park in Collingwood Nature Reserve?

How far is Little Conghurst from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
