A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Agree who removes waste
- Agree the terms in writing
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Set a time for helpers’ food
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Winter fairs in Wennington are dark by about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
