DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
