These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Anything awkward about the way in

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

- Check the spot with your manager
- Organise staff to carry food in
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
We set up before the mealtime.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Activities are important; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
