About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In December, daylight in Hoyle ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time
