A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and family Christmas get-togethers, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
