Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In December, it is dark in Sun Rising by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Sun Rising
Is Sun Rising too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
