On a winter shoot near Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
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.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

What else we do in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
