Prices and what affects them

We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

Travel, tolls and road charges
The date and time of year
Any minimum charge
How many people are eating

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

What we need to know

The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:

Where the van would park
A picture of where the van would go
Any dietary needs and allergies
The date and time of the event

It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Working with your venue

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Chilton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

Planning for dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

Flag any coeliac guests
Send allergies to us in writing
Make sure the van and queue are well lit
Collect allergies in advance

Keep the walk from the door to the van short.

A bit of festive music by the van helps.
