What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
