The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. At midsummer, it’s light in Minster Lovell until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Quick service from the hatch
- No kitchen needed

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Confirm allergies by email
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Is Minster Lovell too small for a chip van?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
