What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
