Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Newington is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
