Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
