About the food
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.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
