DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 usually the easier option.

Christmas party fish and chips in Plastow Green, fried fresh
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. We’re often asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and christmas socials for clubs, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Plastow Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Step by step

- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
