DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. For a summer visit in Crowborough, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
