How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The length of service
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Arrange an alternative if needed
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Finish with the birthday cake.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Autumn and winter parties in Coombe get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

What else we do in Coombe
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
