Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
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.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
A chip van compared with other options
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Classic food your visitors already know
