Prices and what affects them

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The minimum booking
  • The number of meals
  • Parking and the way in

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • The date and time of the event

It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Step by step

The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For a summer visit in Telscombe Cliffs, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

  1. We start with a few details about your care home visit.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Telscombe Cliffs?

Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Why book our van in Telscombe Cliffs

  • Quick service from the hatch
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • No surprises in your quote
  • No kitchen needed

Take a look at our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
