Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Organising a club, school or community event in Fenn Street? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
