Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Wanshurst Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Before you book anyone
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- Any minimum charge
- If the price includes VAT
- Allergen information for each item
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- Service time

How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a late-May party in Wanshurst Green, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
