What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What else we do in South Woodford
Common questions in South Woodford
Can you come to a school fair in South Woodford?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to South Woodford?
The closest is Wood Street station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you come to South Woodford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and South Woodford is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, events in South Woodford stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
