What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Who books fish and chip van hire?
It’s ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, with people coming up to the hatch as they please.
We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in E98 and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Big birthdays
- Staff lunches and team days
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Work Christmas parties
Questions from E98
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
