How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. 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 nobody has to miss the staff event.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
