Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Occasions we serve in Hooe Common
It’s ideal for outdoor and rustic weddings, where there is room to park the van close by.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Hooe Common book the van for events such as:
- Day-after gatherings
- Weddings with a seaside feel
- Rustic farm weddings
- Vow renewal parties
Marrying at The Parish Church of St Mary? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.
What your quote should include
- The deadline for final numbers
- How many hours the van serves
- Whether there’s a minimum
- Allergen information for each item
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hooe Common?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Will the van be in our photos?

Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
