The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Redford, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
