Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in East Hampnett
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. We’re often asked to cater open days and customer events and a monthly Fish Friday, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

East Hampnett: your questions answered
Is East Hampnett close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like East Hampnett?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- The day of the week
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space and the way in
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
