A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

When should we book for December?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
