Fresh fish and chips in Kingston Blount
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space and the way in
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we will check the date and send a price.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
