What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

FAQs for Netherne on-the-Hill
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills 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.
Is parking a problem for the van in Netherne on-the-Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you cover Netherne on-the-Hill?
Yes, we do. Netherne on-the-Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
