Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Care home fish and chips in Ram Lane, fried fresh
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Typical bookings include fish and chip Fridays and birthday treats for residents, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Ram Lane, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
