Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

- A quote that spells everything out
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. By about 4:00pm in late December, it’s dark in Farnborough; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan lighting near the hatch

- Send allergies to us in writing
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
