About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Access that avoids crowds
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

- Set a time for helpers’ food

Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Broomershill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Send us the date, the address or RH20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Broomershill
Can you come to a school fair in Broomershill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Broomershill close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before booking.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event generally works with traders, and we will agree terms.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
