Planning an event in Milton-next-Gravesend?
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. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
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.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
