Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. For community events and fairs and big birthdays, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Lower Green, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Events we cater in Lower Green

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evenings in Lower Green stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
