How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices

Common questions in Partridge Green
Is Partridge Green close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
