How we price a fish and chip van
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Peppard Hill
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Typical bookings include fish and chip days at care homes and garden get-togethers, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Peppard Hill, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Peppard Hill: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Peppard Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you feed plenty of people?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Light matters for evening service: around Peppard Hill, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
