Fresh fish and chips in Burridge
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. A summer party in Burridge stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Confirm allergies by email
- A photo of the parking spot helps
It is worth telling the neighbours.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Questions from Burridge
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Burridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What do children eat?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
