Your questions about a fish and chip van in ME2
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?

Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
