The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Consider a pre-order list
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.

Common questions in Wilsley Pound
Could you trade in Crane Valley?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Wilsley Pound?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer events after work in Wilsley Pound have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
