Read how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.

Step by step

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a summer wedding in Clapham Junction, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check access at the venue and send a price.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
  4. We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.

Planning help

What a fish and chip van costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Parking and the way in
  • Any minimum charge

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

What to tell us

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Your date and serving time
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • The venue or postcode

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

About the food

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
