The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first crew wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Dunton Green: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the serving time
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
