What comes out of the fryer

What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
