Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
