What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges

What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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’s fried on the spot.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
