Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For event organisers in Chartridge
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies in advance

- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
