How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Summer evenings in Radfall stay light until about 9:15pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
