How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Broadwater, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Occasions we serve in Broadwater
Rain does not stop the fryers, which matters at outdoor events.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are frequently booked for:
- Food for volunteers
- Fish and chip supper nights
- Agricultural and country shows
- Community festivals
School fairs, for a school like Broadwater CofE Primary School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer events in Broadwater have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
