How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
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.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
