How we price a fish and chip van visit
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
