How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In summer, Loughborough Junction has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Count families who are joining in
- Check the spot with your manager
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it is hot.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
