How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
