What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or UB5 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Yiewsley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
