How we price a fish and chip van
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What comes out of the fryer

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Put allergy details in writing
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Tourner Bury until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
