Fish and Chip Van Hire in North West

Richardson's Fish & Chips provides a contemporary/traditional fish & chip van and caters for corporate events, weddings, parties, festivals and fetes, year-round. They can offer a set traditional fish and chip menu or cater to your needs. Read on for more plus advice on choosing a similar provider for your event.

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

Initially, we would require the venue address for planning, times and dates, the estimated number of guests, along with any special dietary requirements where required. We always send a bespoke quote so the more information we receive, the more tailored package we can compile for you. It's always helpful to know if there is any electrical and water available, although not crucial as we do have both on-board.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Enquire about the products used. People take the sourcing of their products very seriously, so it's always worth asking where, for example, they source their fish. The quality of the van is important, especially from an aesthetic point of view for a wedding, for example. It's important that the overall appearance of any mobile food vans/trailers complement the overall day and fits in with everything else on show.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Richardson's have been serving the best fish and chips on the Fylde Coast for over 20 years now and a few years ago, we decided to take it on the road. The Richardson family have been involved in the fishing industry for over 100 years and have always worked on the basic principals of the best fish at the best price, coupled with the best customer service. This mantra has continued into our mobile fish and chip van and we are proud to receive fantastic feedback wherever we go. We love being part of peoples special day and find that fish and chips are always a great conversation starter!

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

We were incredibly impressed with the whole Add to Event process. We have found that we get quality enquiries only and the information we receive initially really helps when quoting for a client. We recently received a request for our van to go to a local caravan park as their residents were all asking for one due to the current pandemic. We quoted quickly and was able to be on-site the following Friday and had a great couple of hours with all the park residents. As a result, we have partnered with the company and look forward to working with them moving forwards. Thank you to all involved!
