The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Finish with the birthday cake.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
