A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

What affects the price in Heath End
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the van can park on site
- Collect allergies in advance
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 usually simpler.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Heath End
