How we price a fish and chip van visit

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The length of service
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • How easy the site is to reach

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

To check availability and price, we need:

  • The address or venue name
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Can the van park on the street?

Working with your venue

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

A closer look at the menu

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Looking after everyone

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Organise staff to carry food in
  • Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
  • Include staff and visitors in your numbers
  • Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen

Service fits around the home’s routines.

Inviting families makes it even more special.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Why book with us

  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • No surprises in your quote
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site

See our prices page or what a fish and chip van costs.

What the van needs

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

  • Light near the van after dark
  • A route in without tight gates
  • Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Popular choices

  • Cod and chips
  • Gravy
  • Haddock and chips

The process

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In summer, Monk's Hill has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.

  1. We start with a few details about your care home visit.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for residents.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
