What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December events in Broyle Side lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
