The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Teynham Street? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
