What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Send us the date, the address or MK17 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Eversholt: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Eversholt?
The closest is Flitwick station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Is Eversholt close to London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you park at the unit base?
Normally, with a level spot. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In December, daylight in Eversholt ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Planning help
For event organisers in Eversholt
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
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.
Why choose film set catering in Eversholt?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Location filming
- Live events and broadcasts
- Seaside and period locations
- Wrap parties
Historic houses near Eversholt include Flitwick Manor (1.9 miles east) and Woburn Abbey (2.3 miles south-west). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Questions to ask before you book
- Payment terms and deposit
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- Whether there is a minimum
- The van’s size and access needs
Before you choose a spot

- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A clear route to base
- The location’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A clear quote before you book
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A van that becomes part of the event
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
