A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Where the van can park in Brightwell Baldwin
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips

How the day works

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
