What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

How the day works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For an evening event in Benover, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
