What affects the price in Upper Halliford
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Upper Halliford have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Upper Halliford questions
Can the van park in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Upper Halliford?
The closest is Upper Halliford station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you clear up afterwards?
