DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are normally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

How it works

For a staff lunch in Five Ash Down, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
