Planning an event in Golden Cross?
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
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.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
