DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Newton Leys is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
How to get a price

How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
