How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Access and parking
  • Your choice of menu
  • The minimum booking
  • How many people are eating

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.

What we need to know

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • The address or venue name
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

A closer look at the menu

Sausage and chips

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

For event organisers in Cooksbridge

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Common questions in Cooksbridge

Do you come out to small places like Cooksbridge?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

Is there a non-fish option?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Cooksbridge.

Do we need to provide equipment?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Flag any coeliac staff
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • Ask staff to pre-order

When service is finished, we pack up.

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

The process

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. After-work summer events in Cooksbridge have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Share the timings for the day

Getting a price

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips
