How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book our van in Seven Dials
- No kitchen needed
- A clear quote before booking
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A van that becomes part of the event

Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Seven Dials is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What else we do in Seven Dials
Questions from Seven Dials
Could you trade in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Soho Baptist Chapel: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Can you park at our house?
Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
The process
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Seven Dials, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
