A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Deddington, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
