What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. We’re often asked to cater celebrating a big win and fish Friday treats, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Dial Post, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
After the last group, we pack up.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

Dial Post: your questions answered
Is Dial Post too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Dial Post close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
- 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
