Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Confirm allergies by email
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
Festive lights by the van look great.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Holme Green
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. We serve gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
Near Holme Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
