DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In Plaistow Green, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
