What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
