How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Albourne Green
Can you come to a school fair in Albourne Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station is closest to Albourne Green?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Albourne Green.
Step by step
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. December events in Albourne Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day

Where the van can park in Albourne Green

- Agreement from the site for a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
A few benches near the van help.
