How to compare vans

DIY versus a fish and chip van

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Prices and what affects them

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • The length of service
  • The date and time of year
  • Access and parking
  • Cod, haddock or both

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Your date and serving time
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

About the food

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Planning the van’s spot

If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Step by step

You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. A summer party in Steeple Aston stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, 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.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
