DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Lunchtime staff treats in Upper Lambourn are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
