Fish and chip van hire for Bullockstone events
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- The length of service
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
