- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.

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 a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
