DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Something for staff to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
