Fish and chip van hire for Golden Pot events
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

For a rural spot like Golden Pot, the setting does a lot of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
