What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

- A spot near your guests
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Buckland
Can you serve after a service at Roman Catholic Church of St George?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Buckland?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
- Arrange an alternative if needed
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
