How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- Numbers
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Common questions in Oakhanger
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 follow the site rules.
How far is Oakhanger from London?
About 44 miles from central London.
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.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
