What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking

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.
Getting an accurate quote
