How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer fêtes in Burdrop have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
