How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
