What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Give us break and shift times
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Carisbrooke: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Carisbrooke?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Carisbrooke?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van come to Carisbrooke?
We do. Carisbrooke is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a staff lunch in Carisbrooke, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
For somewhere as remote as Carisbrooke, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Carisbrooke
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
