The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. By about 4:00pm in late December, it is dark in Awbridge; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day

Takeaway run or book a 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 normally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Before you choose a spot
