The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the shift pattern
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
