Millbridge: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Millbridge?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event typically works with traders, and we will agree terms.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll confirm.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer events in Millbridge have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
