What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- 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.
Details that help
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Gossops Green. Larger groups generally 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.

Questions from Gossops Green
Can the van park in Target Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Gossops Green?
Gossops Green has its own station: Ifield station.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
