Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Looking after everyone

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Plan lighting near the hatch
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Keep the queue dry

Stagger groups so the queue stays short.

Festive lights by the van look great.

How the day works

We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In December, it’s dark in Townhill Park by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the van can get in
