With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. 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 happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event. For a staff lunch in Soldridge, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
