What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your care home visit, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting for later visits
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Access the van can manage
Kitts End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
