Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Keep the queue dry
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Agree the spot with the venue
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
