Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Collect allergies in advance
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. December in Marsh Green means early darkness: sunset is about 4:05pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
