About the food
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.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

What else we do in Little Kimble
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Little Kimble, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Ensure the van can get in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- A short menu helps everyone
- Tell us how many children are coming
After service, we pack up.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch

Little Kimble: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Little Kimble too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
