About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. December events in Pitchcott lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
