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 usually the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Plan your Christmas party in Chilgrove around the dark: sunset is about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
