What affects the price in South Street
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
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. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Questions from South Street
Can the van park in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like South Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
