Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
