What affects the price in Hernhill
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the space and the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
