Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
Send us the date, the address or GU15 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
