What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
