How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
