What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head generally 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.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Hiltingbury
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater lunch clubs and seaside-themed afternoons.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van after dark
- Access the van can manage
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
