About our party fish and chip van in Standlake

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Standlake
Is Standlake close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at St Giles' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: 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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
