What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park

Common questions in Ewhurst Green
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Ewhurst Green close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
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’ll plan service around it.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Ewhurst Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
