A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. Whether it is fish and chip supper nights and village fêtes, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening events in Rotherwick have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
