What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer events in Beacon Hill have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Details of any power or water on site
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
