Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Occasions we serve in Kingham
The kitchen gets a day off cooking for the main meal.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
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.
