Questions from Tuesley
Do you come out to small places like Tuesley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
