Planning an event in High Cross?
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In High Cross, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.

- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
