DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Wiggonholt
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Wiggonholt?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What if it is raining or freezing?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Sunset in Wiggonholt in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van
