What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
