What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Late September evenings in St George's Hill lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Your questions about a fish and chip van in St George's Hill
We are gathering after a service at United Reform Church: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
