The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What else we do in Alvescot
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Keep the queue dry
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Questions from Alvescot
Do you come out to small places like Alvescot?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Alvescot from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. December in Alvescot means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
