How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
