A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have a back-up for special diets
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
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.
