Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Redenham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- 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.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

The menu, dish by dish
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.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
