Buttsole questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Buttsole?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.

Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Buttsole
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Whether it’s project milestones and fish Friday treats, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For farms and rural sites near Buttsole, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Buttsole?
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
