Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- The length of service
Larger groups usually 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.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
