How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. 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
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
