The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A clear route onto the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
As a London location, Lampton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
