A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Diets, allergies and planning

- Organise staff to carry food in
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
