What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
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.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it is handed over. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Light matters for evening service: around Brockhill, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready
