A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Hinton Waldrist, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
