A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Access that avoids crowds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Questions from Harmans Water
Can you come to a school fair in Harmans Water?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Harmans Water from London?

What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we are available.

What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will confirm.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

The process

- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
