How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Consider a pre-order list
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Old Town: your questions answered
Is Old Town close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Old Town.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Lunchtime staff treats in Old Town are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
