Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Nag's Head is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

- No surprises in your quote
- A menu almost everyone likes
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Larger groups usually 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 we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
