About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Questions from Dunton
Do you come out to small places like Dunton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Dunton close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Details of any power or water on site
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
