Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
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.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Allergies and diets you know about

- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Where the event is

About our wedding fish and chip van in Holme Green
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it is most welcome. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee or garden and rustic farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Holme Green have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
