How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. By late September, sunset in Winchfield Hurst is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
