Fish and chip van for events for your event in Churt
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it’s school summer fairs and charity fundraisers and community events, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Churt, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
- The minimum booking
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
