Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Questions from Upper Halliford
Could you trade in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Upper Halliford from London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
