Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in St Mary's Bay
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
