Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
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.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Flag coeliac guests early

We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
