What affects the price in Chavey Down
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Chavey Down
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Chavey Down?
