What affects the price in Isfield
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

- The spot you have in mind for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
