What affects the price in Water Stratford
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in

- Cod, haddock or both

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. Your quote spells it all out.

- The date and when you’d like to eat

Is Water Stratford too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What happens if it rains?

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
