Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
