- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Send us the date, the address or RG27 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
