The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Access that avoids crowds
As a London location, South Ealing is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
