A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting for later visits
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
As a London location, The Hyde is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
