Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
