How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.

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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
FAQs for Upton
Do you come out to small places like Upton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Upton from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
