The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Permission for the van at base
- A clear route to base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Long summer days in Andwell, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
