- Flag coeliac guests early

We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
