The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Lawrence Hill; light the path to the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
