Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Collect allergies in advance
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
