Fresh fish and chips in Laddingford

About the food

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

How it works

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Laddingford in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

  1. It starts with your date, site and numbers.
  2. We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
  3. We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
  4. On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
  5. We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help

Planners, venues and businesses

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Parking and the way in
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The minimum booking

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Details that help

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Check the van can park on site
  • December Fridays go first: book early
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Choose a lit spot for the van

Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.

A bit of festive music by the van helps.

Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
