The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
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’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
