A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
