How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Enfield Lock is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
After service, we pack up.
A few lights around the van look great.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In Enfield Lock, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Enfield Lock questions
Can you serve after a service at Ss Peter and Paul Church?
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 will gather.
What about parking in Enfield Lock?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to our street party?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
