A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Tell us how many children are coming
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
