What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
