The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- A photo of the space and the way in

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Hyde questions
Could you trade in St. Cross Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Bartholomew's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Do you cover Hyde?
Yes, we do. Hyde is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
