Bringing Scotland’s Best Fish & Chips Directly to You
For years, Cromars has been proud to serve up award-winning fish and chips right here in the heart of St Andrews. We love our shop, and we love our loyal customers, but over the last twelve months, we realised we wanted to take that St Andrews magic a little further afield.
That’s why we embarked on a brand-new journey: bringing our two mobile catering units to life and getting them on the move. Wendy has always dreamed of having a mobile unit. So when Charles came on board, the plans were put in motion.

We now have two, and watch this space for exciting new developments in the very near future.
A Year in the Making
Getting a mobile catering operation up and running is no small feat—let alone two of them! The past year has been an incredible whirlwind of late nights, menu development, branding adjustments, and fine-tuning every single detail to ensure the food we serve on the road is every bit as exceptional as what you’d enjoy in our St Andrews shop.
We didn’t just want to roll up and serve food; we wanted to bring the full Cromars experience. Whether we are popping up at a local food market, catering a private event, or providing much-needed hearty lunches to hardworking crews on building sites, we’ve built these units to deliver quality, speed, and unforgettable flavour. We have recently been in Stockbridge, Edinburgh and at the Glasgow Christmas Markets.
Meet the Fleet
Over the past year, we’ve tailored our two distinct units to cover all bases, ensuring nobody goes hungry, no matter the occasion:
● The Classic Cromars Experience: Our flagship mobile unit brings our beloved, crispy battered fish, golden chips, and all the traditional trimmings straight to your event or local food hub. It’s the Cromars you know and love, just mobile. This one is located at Cairnsmill Caravan Park and is open to residents and locals alike.
● Roll in One: We know that different crowds need different kinds of fuel. We launched our dedicated grilled food unit to provide hearty, hot, and satisfying meals that just hit the spot—ideal for early starts, building site feeds, or outdoor events. This one is on a private site, and unfortunately, not open to the public.
Looking Ahead
It’s been an incredibly rewarding year seeing our fresh branding out in the wild and watching the queues form at our service windows. From the initial concepts and operational planning to finally firing up the fryers and the grills, bringing these two units to life has been a true labour of love for the whole Cromars team.
A massive thank you to everyone who has supported our mobile venture so far, grabbed a bite from our hatch, or invited us to cater their events. We’re just getting started!
