How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
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 will quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
