Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
