A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Bopeep
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van park in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bopeep?
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. 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.
