How our fish and chip van for events works in Littleton Common
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. We are often asked to cater sports tournaments and festivals, with mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Near Littleton Common, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree who removes waste
- Set a time for helpers’ food
When the event closes, we pack up.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
