How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Tudeley Hale; light the path to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
