Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
