Food your guests will love

How we price a fish and chip van
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
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:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Brent Cross is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
