What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree who removes waste
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
