The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
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.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
