A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Flag any coeliac staff
Put bins near the hatch.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
