How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
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. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
How it works

- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
