Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book with us
- Classic food your crew already know
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
For event organisers in High Cogges
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
