The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Greenham, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat

Questions from Greenham
Do you trade at school fairs around Greenham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you come out to small places like Greenham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How do you charge at fêtes?
Tell us how your event normally works with traders, and we’ll find something that works.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we are available.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
