DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
