About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Show us where the van would go
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
It is worth telling the neighbours.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Autumn and winter parties in Puddledock get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
