Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Summer fêtes in Jordans have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Food your guests will love
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.
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’s hot, crisp and generous.
