DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Perfect for your Christmas party in Selsey
By December, many people have had several Christmas dinners, so a chip van makes a nice change.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Staff Christmas parties
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
- Club and society Christmas socials
- Christmas fairs at schools
A winter fair at a school like Seal Primary Academy gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
