The menu, dish by dish
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.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Do you come out to small places like Out Elmstead?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. A lunch-break van visit in Out Elmstead is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
