On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for friday lunch treats and workplace fundraising days.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
