How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Summer events in Worminghall have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day

Other occasions in Worminghall
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Planning the van’s spot

- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
