The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- All the chip-shop extras
- Classic food your visitors already know
- No surprises in your quote
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

About the food
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 and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
