Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Redford?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For an evening event in Redford, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
