Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. 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. We set everything out in your quote.

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Agree the spot with the venue
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Festive lights by the van look great.
