A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In Robertsbridge, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
