How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
What happens on the day

- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

What else we do in Dawesgreen
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
