Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count suppliers working late
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Plan bins by the hatch
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
