A closer look at the menu
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.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
