A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Winter fairs in Steventon are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 9:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
