Fish and chip van hire for Frimley events
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Frimley
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater work Christmas parties and community events and fairs.
Most bookings in a town like Frimley are at homes, halls, clubs and workplaces. All of them work, provided the van can get in and park on level ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. In Frimley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
