A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff normally gather round the hatch once service starts. After-work summer events in Gawcott have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day

About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Gawcott?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Where the van can park in Gawcott
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your staff
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
