What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
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.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
