How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Church Street: sunset is about 3:50pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready

Common questions in Church Street
What’s the nearest station to Church Street?
Higham station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Church Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
