Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
