Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Activities are important; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Service time
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
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 send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Where the van can park in Emberton
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Access the van can manage
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Firm, level ground close to the home
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In Emberton, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
