What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help

- A photo of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
