What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. A summer party in Newingreen stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Confirm allergies by email
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

Events we cater in Newingreen

Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:
- Get-togethers with old friends
