DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
What affects the price in Kingston Lisle
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
