How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Common questions in Frostlane
Is Frostlane 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.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Frostlane.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. Visitors love it.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Quick service from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For event organisers in Frostlane
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
