DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What affects the price in Church Hanborough
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
