The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Wootton, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:45pm and 7:00pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:50pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
