The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for feeding event crew and country shows.
Near Tadmarton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Which station is closest to Tadmarton?

How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Information about power and water
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
