Fresh fish and chips in Broad Street

Step by step

We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Evening food at a Broad Street wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Our booking checklist

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
