We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Park the van close to the door.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
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.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your Christmas party in Standlake, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Planning the van’s spot

- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
