What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Shottesbrooke
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Shottesbrooke?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is it a full meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Shottesbrooke, 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
