Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- No kitchen needed
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send allergies to us in writing
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

What else we do in Mottisfont
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December in Mottisfont means early darkness: sunset is about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
