How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.

Common questions in Bircholt Forstal
Is Bircholt Forstal close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Give us break and shift times
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. In Bircholt Forstal, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
