Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Allergies and dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
  • Fewer choices mean faster service

After service, we pack up.

Let everyone know when the food is ready.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

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.
