What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- Something for guests to gather round
- Hot food handed straight over
