Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- The length of service
The cost per head typically 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.
