When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. For sports tournaments and charity fundraisers and community events, we will put together a menu of chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
A fête near Latimer might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why Latimer hosts choose us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. Evening events in Latimer have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you trade at schools?

Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
