Planning an event in Teasley Mead?
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 normally simpler.

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
