DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Where the van can park in Punnett's Town
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Gravy
