DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
