How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Gossops Green is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
