How we price a fish and chip van visit
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
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. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Pearson's Green suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day

- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
