Take a look at how we price and our guide to van hire costs.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

The number of meals
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Distance and any road charges
Whether a minimum applies

The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What to tell us

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

The spot you have in mind for the van
Dietary needs, with numbers
Anything awkward about the way in
A picture of where the van would go

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Before you choose a spot

A route in without tight gates or low branches
A short walk from the party
Room in front of the hatch for a queue

Blackheath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Choosing a fish and chip van

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

How the day works

A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Sunset in Blackheath is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
