Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:

Where the van can park in Greenham
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your guests
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. 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
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
