DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Tatsfield is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. It gets dark in Tatsfield by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
