DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. 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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Where the van can park in Little Kimble
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Keep the queue dry
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Flag any coeliac guests
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
