How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, events in Lane End stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
