Planners, venues and businesses

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What affects the price in Lower Denford
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets
Have bins and napkins by the van.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
Where the van can park in Lower Denford
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in Lower Denford until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
