What affects the price in Goring-by-Sea

- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
Cannot 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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
