How we price a fish and chip van
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
Send us the date, the address or ME14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Weavering
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for company team days and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
Around Weavering, bookings are often at homes, local halls and clubs. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

FAQs for Weavering
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Cross 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Weavering from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
