Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
