What comes out of the fryer

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

What a fish and chip van costs

We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The minimum booking
Service time
How far we travel

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

A picture of where the van would go
Anything awkward about the way in
The date and when you’d like to eat
The venue or postcode

Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Space, access and the venue

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

Access wide and high enough for the van
Space for people to queue at the hatch
The site’s agreement to a catering van

Who books fish and chip van hire?

We can help if you are planning any of the following:

Festive get-togethers
Summer garden parties
Birthday celebrations
Weddings, especially the evening

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Add an allergy question to your invitations
Give us separate numbers for children
Send allergies to us in writing

Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.

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 cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
