How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
Put bins near the hatch.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
