The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
