About the food
Gravy

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Choose a lit spot for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 usually simpler.
The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. An afternoon Christmas party in Woodend can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there is good light.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
