Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
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. To send them, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
