Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events in Chisbridge Cross have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
