What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
