We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

What a fish and chip van costs

- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Space in front of the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
