Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check the van can park on site
When service is finished, we pack up.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Seal
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. Typical bookings include christmas family parties and office Christmas parties, serving pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In winter near Seal, we need firm ground and light. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
For event organisers in Seal
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Sausage and chips
