The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Classic food your crew already know
