What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in East Challow
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the van park in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Can the van come to our street party?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Let your neighbours know
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
It’s worth telling the neighbours.
A few lights around the van look great.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. At midsummer, it is light in East Challow until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
