What affects the price in Borden
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
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.

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.

Questions from Borden
What’s the nearest station to Borden?

Is Borden too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
- Collect allergies in advance
- Book as early as possible for December
Send people out in groups.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
