DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. A lunch-break van visit in Barking Riverside is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Clear the route for the van
