Other occasions in Penton Grafton
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
