What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

The process

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
