How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Winter fairs in Hedgerley are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
