Planners, venues and businesses
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 will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Caldecott is about 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.

- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
