- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat

About the food
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’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Let us know of any allergies
- Plan for a few extra people
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
We serve when people are ready, not to a rigid schedule.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
