What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
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.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking

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. Your quote spells it all out.

- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
