About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in West Brompton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Something for guests to gather round
- Classic food your guests already know
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
