Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
