DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
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.
