What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

Skittle Green questions
Which station is closest to Skittle Green?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Skittle Green?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
