What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach

- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Lewes: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Lewes close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. After-work summer events in Lewes have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
