What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- How long we serve
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
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 use our quote form.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in North Sheen drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Questions from North Sheen
Can you serve after a service at The Barn Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to North Sheen?
North Sheen has its own station: Kew Gardens station.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Contact us with your date.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
