About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
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.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Information about power and water
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
