DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Lighting for later visits
- With the serving side away from windows
- Away from emergency access
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
