What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
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, send us your details through our quote form.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, events in Wimbledon Chase stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
