Fish and chips can provide a very good income particularly if you able to have a mobile or mobile units to support a retail outlet.
Mobile units
These can come as a converted van, or can be a purpose built mobile catering unit that can be towed behind a 4×4 or larger vehicle. The converted vans are very useful in that they can get to delivery points that the towed unit cannot. In a number of rural areas converted vans are sometimes the only way to buy fish and chips. Small fish and chip shops that used to exist in outlying villages are no longer are able to operate viably. Whilst they may have had a very loyal band of customers the overheads of running a shop, and the refusal of people to deliver to these outlying areas, meant that when allied to the ever-increasing costs of fish they could no longer survive in business. This however does not diminish the call by many people for the traditional Friday night meal of fish and chips and the mobile unit will deliver this to you. If your taste is not fish but a saveloy, a pie, sausage in batter of a fishcake these can be purchased. The side dishes of mushy peas, pickled onions and pickled eggs are also available. The traditional Friday night meal can be brought to your doorstep.
Fares and shows
Every year there are country fares, dog shows, vintage car shows and food festivals to name a few options. All of these will seek out mobile catering units to keep the crowds well fed. You will be offered a pitch that will cost you a fair rent and power will be provided on site so you will just need your own gas. The units can then cook and sell fresh fish and chips along with all the other food mentioned above. To increase turnover and profitability you will be able to sell hot and cold drinks.
Mobile units are a definite feature of country life and do have a place in urban areas as well.
