Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your staff
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Seasalter
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips

- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
