- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- A lit spot for evening service

The menu, dish by dish

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Twitton, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time

Send us the date, the address or TN14 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
