When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.

What else we do in Bowling Alley
About the food
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.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Where the van can park in Bowling Alley
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
