Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send round an allergy question
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Consider a pre-order list
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
