What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Access that avoids crowds
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Littleton.

We do. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
