Food your guests will love
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.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Questions from Avery Hill
What about parking in Avery Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
