What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Service time

What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the van can park on site
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Sepham Heath?
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.
In Sepham Heath and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Festive open days
- Family Christmas get-togethers
- Lights switch-on events
- Christmas fairs at schools
A winter fair at a school like Halstead Community Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
