Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. For an end-of-day event in Mansbridge, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning a team lunch in Mansbridge
Mansbridge is about 2 miles north-east of Southampton, in Southampton. For staff events in Mansbridge, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover 40 places across Southampton.
Within reach of Mansbridge are historic houses such as South Stoneham House (0.5 miles west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.2 miles south-west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. By road, Mansbridge is on or near the A27, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
We take the van to staff events all over SO18, SO16 and SO17 and the streets around it. Whether your staff event is on Wide Lane, Dart Road and Copse Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Main roads around Mansbridge include the A27, which makes travel to your staff event easy. If your venue is just outside Mansbridge, we also cover Townhill Park (1 mile south-east), Swaythling (1 mile west), Midanbury (1 mile south), Chartwell Green (1 mile south-east) and Bitterne Park (1 mile south). We also serve nearby towns such as Shirley (3 miles west), Regents Park (3 miles west), Sholing (3 miles south), Maybush (4 miles west), Woolston (3 miles south) and Coxford (3 miles west).

Why choose a fish and chip van in Mansbridge?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- Events in Mansbridge and across Southampton
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
See how we price and the cost guide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
