A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. For a summer visit in Booker, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Booker?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
