Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In West Challow, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
