Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- 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.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

What else we do in Rusher's Cross
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Rusher's Cross? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer visit in Rusher's Cross, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. 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.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen needed
