What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
