Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
