What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
