How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
