Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cover Plaitford Green and the whole of Hampshire
- Quick service from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- Service time
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
