What comes out of the fryer
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.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: 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.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or KT7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Keep the queue dry
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Send round an allergy question
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
