Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space and the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a lovely, simple occasion, a chip van visit is hard to beat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
