What affects the price in Blackstone
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
