How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cover Westerton and the whole of West Sussex
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Fewer choices mean faster service.
