About the food
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.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December in Burgh Hill means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
