How we price a fish and chip van visit
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Radfield is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
