How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time

- Allergies and diets you know about

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. A summer party in Snagshall stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
