In a small place like Snow Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Let your neighbours know
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Autumn and winter parties in Snow Hill get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm 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 in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
