DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your Christmas party. Plan your Christmas party in Farncombe around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
