What comes out of the fryer
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 goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Beaulieu
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve near the sea around Beaulieu?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you cover Beaulieu?
We do. Beaulieu is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
