How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Service time
- The day of the week
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 we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
