How we price a fish and chip van visit
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing

Afterwards we pack up quietly.
