DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Light near the van after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
