Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Put bins near the van
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Questions from Tinsley Green
Can the van park in Worth Park Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Tinsley Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tinsley Green.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Tinsley Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
