Read our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your party in Piddington, and we will check the date and send a price.
How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Autumn and winter parties in Piddington get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
