A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Boundstone
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings, especially the evening and staff lunches and team days.
Around Boundstone, bookings are often at homes, local halls and clubs. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
