What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Lillingstone Lovell
How far is Lillingstone Lovell from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Lillingstone Lovell too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you cover Lillingstone Lovell?
We do. We serve events in Lillingstone Lovell and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, generally. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A menu almost everyone likes
