What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Highleigh
What’s the nearest station to Highleigh?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Is Highleigh close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to Highleigh?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Highleigh and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, use our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Highleigh?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Midsummer parties in Highleigh stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Quick service from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
