A chip van compared with other options
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Confirm numbers the day before
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.

- Any minimum charge

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
