- The length of service
- The day of the week
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
