How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
What happens on the day
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first residents wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Brede is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
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. You can fill in our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Questions from Brede
Is Brede too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Brede?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you come every month?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for later visits
- Access the van can manage
- Close to the garden or entrance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
