A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December events in Fawkham Green lose the light at about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.

- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

Before we arrive

- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
