What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

FAQs for Newbury's
Can you serve after a service at Rehoboth Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you come to Newbury's?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Newbury's and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
