Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.

Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. December in Andwell means early darkness: sunset is about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
