How we price a fish and chip van visit
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
