Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
After service, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Questions from Midgham Green
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Matthew?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Midgham Green?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm the menu.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Occasions we serve in Midgham Green

- Weddings, especially the evening

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Around midsummer it stays light in Midgham Green until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
