Snack vans over priced
Ever had to use a burger van, fast food place at a fair or a village fete and had the feeling you have been severely ripped off? It is nothing but daylight robbery and there ought to be a law against it.

Mobile catering, snack food places and burger vans are a right rip off. How can they justify charging three quid for an unappealing cheeseburger and who do they think they are kidding?

| 22-4-2008 | You are a cheap skate. Three pounds for a burger and two pounds for chips is quite cheap. If you don't like it, dont buy it. Simple. | dave |

| 10-4-2008 | hi I have run a mobile burger van for 4 years now and agree yes generally prices are very high at events but this is due to organisers sometimes charging sky high prices for pitches, insurances, health and safety certificates and public liability, so maybe its not the traders you should be knocking ...more | jo |

| 11-3-2008 | Hi I've just bought a 10ft catering trailer and intend selling all the usual stuff but of good quality and at a reasonable price(as a mother of four I know how important this is) I've got all the certs and everything and I'm ready to go the only problem being now I cant find a pitch! Any...more | Sues |
| 10-3-2008 | I agree with the fact the prices are sky high at the mobile catering at events but they are often charged a similarly high amount to be there.
I have just been to crufts where I found it impossible to get any drink for less than £1.50 and the cheapest sandwich I found was £3.50. But as th...more | MC |
| 10-3-2008 | Ryder is correct but sometimes you've already bought it and it is too late. Depending on the 'will' of the individual, you could throw it back at them and ask for your coin back.
There are some good venders and I believe they vastly outweigh the bad. There's one I know that does...more | Pete |
| 10-3-2008 | It's very simple, rather than buying and then complaining afterwards, just don't buy at all. There are plenty of decent mobile catering venders out there, selling quality food. Anyone who's stupid enough to want to stuff their faces full of disgusting offal burgers and nutritionless frie...more | Ryder |

| 13-2-2008 | I too agreed the prices charged at local events were a rip off - until I looked at what they are being charged by the organiser for the pitch for the day - often £200 (at prestige events this can rise to £2000)... I also licence vans to use private property, I charge 10% of profit income. ...more | Another unhappy customer... |
