What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Barcombe Mills? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
