Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.

A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Warningcamp, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
