Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What affects the price in West Bedfont
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
