Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In Bennett End, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day

About the food
Haddock and chips

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
