What comes out of the fryer
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 goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Display allergens for each stall
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
What affects the price in Hawridge
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At midsummer, events in Hawridge stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
