What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
