How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer evenings in Moss End stay light until about 9:25pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Send us the date, the address or RG42 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
