What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Where the van can park in Platt
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
