DIY versus a fish and chip van
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’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
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.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go

For a summer visit in Piddington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
