The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Peel Common is about 7:10pm in late September and about 4:00pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.

Getting ready for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
