Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event in Ley Hill. At midsummer, events in Ley Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
