Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- With the serving side away from windows
- A clear way in for the van
- A level parking spot near the entrance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips

Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
