How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with 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, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree who removes waste
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Information about power and water
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Teynham Street
