Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the day works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Marsh Gibbon, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
