A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
