Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We’re frequently asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and fish and chip days at care homes, with mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy.
Around Westborough, bookings are frequently at homes, local halls and clubs. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Light matters for evening service: around Westborough, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
