Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- The day of the week
The cost per head normally 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.

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Blissford
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Typical bookings include fish and chip days at care homes and christmas parties, serving sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In a small place like Blissford, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Blissford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:05pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

Questions from Blissford
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Blissford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Count children separately
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Put bins and napkins by the van
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
A chip van compared with other options
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
