Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
