What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Plan portion sizes with us
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Count families who are joining in
Service fits around the home’s routines.

Eastergate questions
Do you come out to small places like Eastergate?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park at the home?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer visit in Eastergate, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
