Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access the van can manage
- Lighting for later visits
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
