DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. December in East Marden means early darkness: sunset is about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
