Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Is Brookhampton close to London?

Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.

The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In December, daylight in Brookhampton ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
