What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Aperfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Aperfield?
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Light matters for evening service: around Aperfield, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Common questions in Aperfield
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at St Mark's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
