You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. It gets dark in Goodley Stock by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- 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.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
