What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Could you trade in Wellington Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
