Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Something for visitors to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Hot food handed straight over
- Classic food your visitors already know
What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
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
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Somewhere firm if it rains
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
