Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. Whether it’s lunch for the care team and retirement village events, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Kit's Coty, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What affects the price in Kit's Coty
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
