How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
