What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Farthing Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
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 a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
