How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Getting an accurate quote

- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
