What a fish and chip van costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How many people are eating
  • Distance and any road charges
  • How long we serve
  • Any minimum charge

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What to tell us

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Your date and serving time
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • A photo of the parking spot

Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

How to compare vans

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Hook Norton questions

Is Hook Norton close to London?

Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

What will facilities need from you?

Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Can the van park on grass?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

What happens if it rains?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.

How the day works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Hook Norton, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:30pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Let us know the serving time
  • Have a level parking spot ready

How to get a price

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For event organisers in Hook Norton

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
