How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
A chip van compared with other options
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
