Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Tell facilities or the venue about the van

Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.

Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

What comes out of the fryer

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.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
