Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
