It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you need power or water?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it is handed over. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
