How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Confirm allergies by email
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
Park the van close to the door.

Farnborough questions
Can the van park in Snaky Lane Community Wildlife Area?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Farnborough?
The closest is Farnborough Main station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

- We cover Farnborough and the whole of Hampshire
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
