Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
A chip van compared with other options
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
