About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
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.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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 in St Pancras?

The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Staff lunches and team days
