A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
