Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing

- Consider a pre-order list
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
A chip van compared with other options

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
