How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Hartley Wespall?

Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Do you fry it on site?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 normally simpler.
