The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
