Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer events after work in Holywell have light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
