DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 normally the easier option.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Organising a club, school or community event in Platt? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. An afternoon Christmas party in Platt can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

- Clear the route for the van
