How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Access and parking
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
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
FAQs for Neames Forstal
Could you trade in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is Neames Forstal too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
