Events we cater in Temple Bar
By December, many people have had several Christmas dinners, so a chip van makes a nice change.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Temple Bar book the van for occasions like:
- Club and society Christmas socials
- Christmas markets and fairs
- End-of-year customer events
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
A winter fair at a school like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether there is a minimum
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
