About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Plan bins near food stalls
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Lamport: your questions answered
Can the van park in Stowe Park and Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
How far is Lamport from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
