What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Selling station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
