How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a late-May party in Shutford, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it is about 9:30pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Shutford
Do you come out to small places like Shutford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van come to Shutford?
Yes, we do. Shutford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
