What a fish and chip van costs

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Parking and the way in
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Travel, tolls and road charges

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.

Tillington: your questions answered

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Do you come out to small places like Tillington?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

How long will the queue be?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?

Yes. Send us your date and site details.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Can you serve children?

Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Can the van park on grass?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.

What happens on the day

A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. December in Tillington means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Check the van can park on site
  • Plan lighting near the hatch
  • December Fridays go first: book early

We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.

Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Where the van can park in Tillington

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • A short walk from the party

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

From the hatch

  • Curry sauce
  • Cod and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Gravy
  • Sausage and chips

Should I sort the food myself?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
