About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Summer events in Foreland Fields have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
