Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Questions from Granborough
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Granborough from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van come to Granborough?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Granborough is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
