Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Service time
- Your choice of menu

- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or HP14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.

- Keep the serving time flexible

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
