How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Wildridings: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
