About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
