How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Send us the date, the address or ME2 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Upper Bush
There’s no venue to book or taxis to arrange, because the van comes to you.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Christmas markets and fairs
- End-of-year customer events
- Christmas socials for clubs
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
A winter fair at a school like Cuxton Community Infant School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
