Haddock and chips

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
