How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- Service time
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room for the crew to queue
- A clear route to base
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
As a London location, Temple Mills is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Crew coming by rail can use the station: Temple Mills has its own station, Stratford International station. Within reach of Temple Mills are historic houses such as Sutton House (1.6 miles west) and Valentines Mansion (3.8 miles north-east).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
