What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Winter fairs in Bassett Green are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
When the event closes, we pack up.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
A chip van compared with other options
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
