Prices and what affects them

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

  • Numbers
  • The day of the week
  • The length of service
  • Access and parking

Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • The date and time of the event
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

How it works

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a staff lunch in Cothill, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
