A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Confirm allergies by email
Keep the queue away from the road.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
