What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Common questions in Wick
What’s the nearest station to Wick?
The closest is Littlehampton station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What do children eat?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Midsummer parties in Wick stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
