How we price a fish and chip van visit
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
