DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
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. You can fill in our quote form.
