What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Why book our van in Southampton
- Classic food your staff already know

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. Lunchtime staff treats in Southampton are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
