Questions from Russell's Green
Is Russell's Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Highwoods?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

What happens on the day

- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
