How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- Service time
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

FAQs for Chithurst
Which station is closest to Chithurst?
The closest is Liphook station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
Is Chithurst too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

- Consider a pre-order list
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
