How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in West Tisted?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Why choose a fish and chip van in West Tisted?
