How we price a fish and chip van visit
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
