What affects the price in Durley
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Numbers
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. For a staff lunch in Durley, daylight isn’t 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 9:25pm.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
