What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Events in Littleton and across Surrey
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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.
Where the van can park in Littleton
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- A clear way in for the van
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
