What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Questions from Woodend
Do you come out to small places like Woodend?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Woodend?
The closest is Botley station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Send round an allergy question
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Woodend is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
