What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

FAQs for Wingrave
Which station is closest to Wingrave?
Cheddington station, about 3.4 miles east of the centre.
Is Wingrave close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we’ll go through it.
Can the van come to Wingrave?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Wingrave and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van if needed
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A queue area clear of trucks
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, daylight in Wingrave ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
