How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • Parking and the way in
  • The day of the week
  • Cod, haddock or both

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

What to tell us

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Where the event is
  • Your date and serving time
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Dietary needs, with numbers

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.

Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

From the hatch

  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Sausage and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas
