What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help

- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Ellisfield in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.

- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the van can park on site
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send round an allergy question
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- 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
