What affects the price in Winchfield Hurst
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

- Put allergy details in writing
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
