A chip van compared with other options
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
