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
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about

- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
