Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
