Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Bix in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand

Do you come out to small places like Bix?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening generally works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
