Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
