About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Other occasions in East Marden
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week

How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In East Marden, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
