The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
