What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Stockcross, so put the van where there’s good light.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
