A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- 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. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
