Should I sort the food myself?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Tell us about the pitch
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
