The Press & Journal (13/06/03) writes, "The Prince of Wales gave a fish-and-chip van the royal seal of approval as he paid a visit to Scotland yesterday." They report that, "The Prince tasted fresh scallops from the Fisherman's Pier chip van in Tobermory, Mull, and declared them "delicious"," before adding that, "Owners Jeanette Gallagher and Jane MacLean were delighted to serve the royal visitor with some local produce."

 

The Daily Express also ran the same story that day with the headline, "Supper's royal seal of approval."

.

Prince Charles' visit to Mull, and to the Fisherman's Pier fish and chip van in particular, caused a lot of publicity. Many newspapers also reported the van's inclusion in the 2004 "Les Routiers" Guide, the Scotsman printing a picture of proud owners Jeanette and Jane on 27 March 2004. The text accompanying the photo reads, "For snacks off the beaten track, a highlight among the listings is the Fisherman's Pier fish and chip van at Tobermory, on Mull."
