What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Northend stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Information about power and water
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
