What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- Service time
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. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the parking spot
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for Mildmay
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Jude and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Mildmay?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
