What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- Access and parking
There’s 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.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
About our party fish and chip van in Peckham Bush
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Whether it is birthday parties and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
In a small place like Peckham Bush, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Peckham Bush stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare

We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
