Common questions in Milton Hill

Do you come out to small places like Milton Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree who removes waste
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
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.
