What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- The minimum booking
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Blissford: your questions answered
Can the van go 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.
Is Blissford too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Evening events in Blissford have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
