How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
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. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
Send us the date, the address or RG42 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Winkfield Row questions
Which station is closest to Winkfield Row?
Martins Heron station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around Winkfield Row?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

A closer look at the menu

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Winter fairs in Winkfield Row are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
