How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- 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.

- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
