A chip van compared with other options

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:

- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

What else we do in Long Crendon
Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
