About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Alkerton is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Share the timings for the day
