How we price a fish and chip van visit
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
