About the food
Cod and chips

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
