The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips

Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.

For event organisers in Irons Bottom
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
