Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. Typical bookings include PTA Christmas events and office Christmas parties, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

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. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
