Proper Fish And Chips At The Hungry Plaice

We may not be the lowest priced Fish And Chip Van Hire in the UK.

I can guarantee that my statement above is true and I'm not afraid to say it, we do not compete on price and neither do we get into price negotiations with customers and we won't even try to compete with competitors .

There are two reasons for the higher prices, I really hope by this stage you will know the first is because of Our vans. This is our Unique Selling Point our USP, there is no-one else who can offer you a Ford Transit Mark 2 Fish And Chip Van that was operational in the 80s and I'm sure that you can appreciate older vintage vehicles are more expensive to maintain than traditional trailers and so this is reflected in the cost.

The second reason for our higher prices is that we offer a Premium Quality Service. This quality covers our Communication, Service and the Products that we use in making our Fish And Chips.

You can try and compare us to competitors but please remember to consider the differences between the vehicles and the service being offered as we are in the Premium category.

This brings me to one of the most important aspects of our Service, the Fish that we use. I will make no bones about it and I'll be upfront here, some Fish and Chip Vans will use Wholesale bought Frozen Pre-Battered Fish, they will put it frozen into a fryer and then serve it to you, it is so obvious by the photos they have on their websites and also some Fish and Chip Vans won't have a full fryer range like you have in your local Fish and Chip Shop....like we have in our Vans.

Now you might be perfectly happy with paying less, and the frozen pre-battered prospect doesn't bother you. You might want to pay less for your Fish and Chip Van Hire and not really be concerned about quality of food for your guests....but we care about the quality.....and we care about your guests.

We want to delight your guests with our vans and our food, we want them to eat our Food and really enjoy it immensely, we want them to feel fulfilled and have something to tell their friends and family about the Fish and Chips they had at the Wedding at the weekend.

Because we care we don't cut corners, we don't use pre-battered fish which would actually save us lots of time. The Fish we buy is from a Reputable Fish Wholesaler which is Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) which means its better quality and better tasting when cooked. The Fish is purchased from a company which is part of the Marine Stewardship Council (The MSC) where all suppliers are certified sustainable.

We spend time on our Fish and have to manage every single piece before reaching an event, each piece is handled with care and quality checked so that we only serve the best quality fillets to our guests and make sure that each piece is just as tasty as the one before that.

All this takes time and know how and experience has shown us how to manage the Fish correctly to get the best out of it.

Having spent all this time looking after the Fish for your event, these are then transported in special chilled containers and every piece is then Hand Battered right before adding to the fryers for cooking, we ensure the temperature is high enough and after a few minutes we produce tasty, fluffy Fish in a crispy and light batter, your guests will be assured that they will receive a freshly fried piece made to the best of our ability and any pieces less than perfect will be discarded, thankfully we've worked hard on our processes to ensure this doesn't happen often.

So please make sure you bear in mind the level of quality we can provide for your event and that you make an informed choice when you pick your Fish and Chip Van Hire.
