About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
