About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
