Food your guests will love
Curry sauce

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Strettington: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Strettington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Strettington from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Light in Strettington lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
