How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter fairs in Shover's Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

The menu, dish by dish
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.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A clear route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
