Fresh fish and chips in Moulsford
FAQs for Moulsford
Do you trade at school fairs around Moulsford?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like Moulsford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
