Holmwood station, about 2.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Cudworth too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Is the food cooked at the event?

What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do you need on the pitch?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll check it works.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
We set up before visitors arrive.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
