About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In Lagness, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
