What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
