The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Lower Twydall: your questions answered
Can the van park in Riverside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Lower Twydall?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Contact us with the date.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- December Fridays go first: book early

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
