About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
