Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For evening food with a bit of fun, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book our van in Mott's Mill
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A clear quote before booking
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
