What affects the price in Mayfield
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
