Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Midsummer parties in Hunton stay bright until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
