How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and serving time

- A picture of the space and the way in

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
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, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Blackbird Leys?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
