What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Upper Enham
Do you come out to small places like Upper Enham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Saint George?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What do children eat?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. For a late-May party in Upper Enham, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
