A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Great Burgh?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A menu almost everyone likes
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
