A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Put bins near the van
- Count suppliers working late
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 is fried on the spot.
Loxwood: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Loxwood?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Loxwood.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
