- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Level, firm ground at base
- Permission for the van at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for special diets
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Winter shoots near Ledborough chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
