What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Summer events in Oversland have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Questions from Oversland
What’s the nearest station to Oversland?
The closest is Selling station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Oversland?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
