How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
