Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

Cryers Hill questions
How far is Cryers Hill from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Cryers Hill?
High Wycombe station, about 2.4 miles south of the centre.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer evenings in Cryers Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
