Haddock and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Sunset in High Hurstwood is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
