About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Space for a queue away from paths
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
