Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
A chip van compared with other options
A formal meal doesn’t always suit. Fish and chips lets people mingle. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
