What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Tillington
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Hallows: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Tillington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Tillington?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Tillington is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Autumn and winter parties in Tillington get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
