Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
