What affects the price in Mayfield
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
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.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Winter shoots near Mayfield chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
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.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Mayfield
Do you come out to small places like Mayfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Mayfield?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
