What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Crockerhill, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Crockerhill
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. For weddings, especially the evening and big birthdays, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In a small place like Crockerhill, 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.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Late September evenings in Crockerhill lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan bins near the queue
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Gravy
- Chips
