Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
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.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Kiddington, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:30pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
