What a fish and chip van costs

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How long we serve
  • The day of the week
  • Numbers
  • The menu and how many choices

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Getting an accurate quote

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Where the event is
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

Step by step

Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your party. Midsummer parties in Ashburnham stay bright until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning help

Should I sort the food myself?

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.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

For planners, venues and organisers

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
