How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Sharpthorne are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
