Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Ryarsh
How far is Ryarsh from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ryarsh.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: 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.
