What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Winter shoots near Westergate chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, 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.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time

A fish and chip van or other catering?

- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge

- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Agree how the base is left
- Flag any coeliac crew
We take our used oil and waste with us.
