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 menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- Service time
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. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for Barnehurst
What about parking in Barnehurst?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Barnehurst?
The closest is Barnehurst station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Winter shoots near Barnehurst chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
