A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
