How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we’ll check the date and send a price.

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s pork only. A chip van gives a choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Organising a club, school or community event in Rowley Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Rowley Green in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
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. To send your details, use our quote form.
Planning help
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Rowley Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
