A chip van compared with other options
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before booking
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Bookings across Surrey, including Byfleet
See our prices page or the cost guide.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Byfleet
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask facilities about access
- Consider a pre-order list
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
