- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
