What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Long Sutton
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for relaxed, informal receptions and engagement parties.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
