Milton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Milton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Milton?
The closest is Kings Sutton station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

In Milton and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Community open days
- Music and food festivals
- Summer fairs

School fairs, for a school like The Warriner School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van.

- The van’s size and access needs
- Whether there is a minimum
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. December events in Milton lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Agree the terms in writing
- Set a time for helpers’ food
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
