What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter fairs in Bury's Bank are dark by about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Make sure allergen information is available
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
