DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
