A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree how the base is left
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Share the base location and route
- Flag any coeliac crew
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
