Why choose a fish and chip van in Wick?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What else we do in Wick
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Winter fairs in Wick are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A clear route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Wick
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Cod and chips

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree the terms in writing
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
