How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Count children separately
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
