Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges

- The day of the week
- Access and parking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.

- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Other occasions in Bridgemary
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Long summer days in Bridgemary, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
