Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Upper Horsebridge?

Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Upper Horsebridge by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
