A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
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.
FAQs for Harbledown

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Harbledown?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you have documents for our site?

Yes. Visitors love it.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Step by step

After-work summer events in Harbledown have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
