DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Send us the date, the address or RH7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Flag any coeliac staff
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
