Fish and chip van for events in Radclive
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
About our fish and chip van for events in Radclive

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park

- Expected numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Agree the terms in writing
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
