What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Where the van can park in Radnage
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Radnage
Which station is closest to Radnage?
Saunderton station, about 1.6 miles east of the centre.
Is Radnage too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
