DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
For event organisers in East Street
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
