What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Something for guests to gather round
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check the street’s parking rules
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Common questions in Shedfield
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Shedfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Events we cater in Shedfield
People book a chip van for parties because nobody has to cook. And it’s fun.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Anniversary celebrations
- Family celebrations after a christening
- Family reunions
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St John, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards.
Before you book anyone
- VAT, if it applies
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- Allergen information for each item
- Payment terms and deposit
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Shedfield

- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How it 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. For a late-May party in Shedfield, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
