Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Shurlock Row hosts choose us
- All the chip-shop extras

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
