London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Furzton.

About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
