Cod and chips

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

It is a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. We are often asked to cater depot Christmas treats and festive family gatherings, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In winter near Poundsbridge, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Poundsbridge questions
Which station is closest to Poundsbridge?
Ashurst Kent station, about 2.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Poundsbridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
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.
Do you come to Poundsbridge?
Yes, we do. Poundsbridge is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
