Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Agree who removes waste
- Agree the terms in writing
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Where the van can park in Fortis Green
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Summer events in Fortis Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
