What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Lower Cox Street
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Lower Cox Street close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Which fish do you use?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
