A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- Numbers

- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
