How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How far we travel
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. 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. We set everything out in your quote.
