How we price a fish and chip van visit
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
There’s 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. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Light near the van after dark

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

FAQs for Langley
Do you come out to small places like Langley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Langley?
The closest is Hamble station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
