A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

FAQs for Linwood
Do you come out to small places like Linwood?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- The location’s agreement
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Linwood
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips

How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, Linwood has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
