Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Eastwood? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
