A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
