What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
How our film set catering works in Greenwich
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater wrap parties and commercials and music videos.
London locations around Greenwich can have tight access, so tell us the route and any height limits. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Where the van can park in Greenwich
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room for the crew to queue

Greenwich is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

FAQs for Greenwich
Which station is closest to Greenwich?
Maze Hill station, in Greenwich itself.
Can the van park in Island Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Can the van come to Greenwich?
Yes, we do. Greenwich is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. 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 Greenwich, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
