How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What affects the price in Netley
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- 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. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or SO31 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Give us separate numbers for children
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.
Tell people when the van opens.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 event.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Netley until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time
